A thin coating of 2-D nanosheets has proved to be the most wear-resistant solid lubricant yet identified, according to researchers who put the titanium carbide–based material through its paces (ACS ...

Engineers from UCLA have developed a way to make an aluminum alloy known as AA 7075 so strong that it can be welded without breaking. In a paper published in Nature Communications, the researchers ...

Large, monolithic titanium aircraft components, such as this jet fighter bulkhead component, frequently have deep pockets and thin walls to reduce weight. The prolific use of complex, monolithic ...

Titanium and its alloys have been intensively investigated in biomedical applications including artificial joints, because of their excellent resistance to corrosion, elastic modulus characteristics, ...

A team of researchers from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln investigated the physical characteristics of MXenes, a rapidly growing family of two-dimensional materials with potential for diverse ...

Metallic conductivity and hydrophilicity of MXenes have established them as electrodes in rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors, as well as other applications, including photothermal cancer ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. The good capacitive rate performance of the 75-µm-thick electrodes (Fig. 3e) is noteworthy, however, and demonstrates scalability ...
